Mazar I Shariff X Mazar I Shariff by New420guy Seeds
Mazar Selections × Mazar Selections
Mazar I Shariff X Mazar I Shariff is an indica-dominant strain developed by New420Guy Seeds. It is a direct cross of two Mazar selections, aiming to enhance stability, resin production, and the classic Afghan cannabis profile. This cultivar is recognized for its potent indica-leaning characteristics.
Appearance
This cultivar typically presents a compact, medium-short stature with significant apical dominance. It features short internodal spacing, leading to dense node development and stacked calyxes. The leaves are broad and dark green, characteristic of indica varieties. During flowering, buds form dense, clustered formations, often resembling golf balls, which can connect to form substantial colas. Trichome coverage is notably heavy, becoming visible early in the flowering cycle. While generally modest in anthocyanin expression, cooler temperatures late in flowering may induce light purpling in some phenotypes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of Mazar I Shariff X Mazar I Shariff is characterized by a thick, hashy, and incense-forward scent, reflecting its traditional Afghan heritage. It moves away from overly sweet or dessert-like notes, instead emphasizing a faithful Afghan character. Flavors can include notes of earthiness, pine, and hints of spice or cream, with potential undertones of candy and floral or herbal notes. The overall sensory experience is designed to evoke classic hashish qualities.
Effects
Mazar I Shariff X Mazar I Shariff is known for its reliably sedating effects, aligning with its indica heritage. This cultivar is often sought after for nighttime use or for promoting relaxation. The experience is generally characterized by a calming and physically relaxing sensation, consistent with traditional indica landrace traits.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain's aroma and flavor are significantly influenced by terpenes such as beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, and humulene, which contribute to its classic hash-like profile. While specific cannabinoid percentages can vary, this cultivar typically falls within a THC range of 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%. The emphasis on resin production suggests a rich trichome profile suitable for concentrate extraction.
Origins & Lineage
Mazar I Shariff X Mazar I Shariff originates from the Mazar-i-Sharif region of Afghanistan, a historical center for hashish production. New420Guy Seeds developed this strain through an in-line cross, pairing two selected Mazar phenotypes. This breeding strategy focuses on preserving and stabilizing the landrace's desirable traits, including its compact structure, abundant resin, and classic Afghan flavor, without introducing external genetics. The aim is to refine the archetypal “hashplant” phenotype.
Growing
This cultivar is bred for stability and resin output, making it a practical choice for cultivation. It typically exhibits a stout, manageable structure ideal for indoor and greenhouse setups, with a relatively short flowering period. Its resilience and predictable growth patterns contribute to its appeal for growers seeking consistent performance and high-quality resin production. The plant responds well to standard cultivation techniques and is known for its forgiving nature under stress.
